Whoop!
Bank Holiday looming! Thanks to everyone for coming to our BARN OWL show earlier this week, great performances all round! Loved it! Next week we have two more brilliant shows lined up for you. Monday sees us back at The Lexington this time with UTR faves PARENTHETICAL GIRLS, the tremendous ERGO PHIZMIZ and our friend Avi's new project VOLUNTEERS PARK, now that's what we call juxtaposition! All over the shop and better for it! Then, next Thursday we're overjoyed to have SUPREME DICKS grace our stage, after a brief 17 year gap, true legends of the weirdo rock underground, it's a real privilege to get to work on this ultra-rare show! Plus Matt from Talibam!'s new PLATINUM VISION band and CHALAQUE from Manchester will also be ripping it up. Read on, on, on, for all you need to know and probably more…

PARENTHETICAL GIRLS are an experimental pop band formed back in 2003 in Everett, Washington, currently living in Portland, Oregon. Throughout their bewilderingly unorthodox discography, Parenthetical Girls have become a singular force of obsessional pop. It's a peculiarity that they've learned to embrace, a single-minded conviction that pours itself over every corner of their latest album, 'Privilege' (Marriage Records / Slender Means). Returning to the band's core membership of vocalist/creative director Zac Pennington and producer/arranger Jherek Bischoff (composer and collaborator with David Byrne, Amanda Palmer, Xiu Xiu, etc), 'Privilege' retains the group's signature ambitions: visceral intimacy, camp austerity, lurid eloquence, while confidently embracing the perfect pop pastiche their previous records only alluded to. Anchored by Pennington's distinctively lilting vibrato, 'Privilege' is a cascade of grim particulars and gallows humour, an unflinching treatise on privilege, indiscretion, betrayal, sex and class politics, failure, and resignation. This is Parenthetical Girls in fighting trim: unbridled, unambiguous, and with a new creative candor that's felt in both its words and music. 'Privilege' is a 12-track statement of purpose: a bold, strikingly cohesive pop clarion call that further solidifies Parenthetical Girls' place amongst the most surprising and uncompromising pop groups at work today.

ERGO PHIZMIZ first came to critical attention for his experimental electronica and sound collage and being name checked in John Peel’s autobiography. As a composer and music conceptualist the last decade has seen him active in nearly every form of music from film scores ( including for art star Christian Marclay to Channel 4) to chamber operas, such as the increasingly cultish The Mourning Show to award winning radio commissions of all kinds for German National radio and BBC3 and 4. Most recently his music has been reaching the ears of a wider audience with his distinctive and crafted approach to song-writing which has been received to widespread critical acclaim. Never playing a song the same way twice he’s currently assembled a basic ramshackle trio to charm and blunder his way through his latest album “Eleven Songs” along with newly penned numbers.

VOLUNTEERS PARK is Aviram Cohen of Silk Flowers and Soiled Mattress & The Springs' new project. Being a chameleon is one of Cohen’s strong suits, morphing from free jazz in Soiled Mattress to cold electronics in Silk Flowers, with Volunteers Park, he’s come to a fork in the road and sent parts of himself down both paths. Certain tracks are elemental, dark and glass-shattering like a horror soundtrack, others cascade with Casio sublimity whilst lyrics about a dentist’s daughter unfurl. Cohen must have a madhouse of bleeps and bloops playing pong in his head, a multiple-aesthetic-personality-disorder, but whatever’s going on is working. He doesn’t sound spread thin, just serenely scattered. Check out PPM for his most recent 7"!

SUPREME DICKS are an experimental rock group formed in 1984 in Amherst, Massachussetts by Jon Shere, Steve Shavel and Danny Oxenberg. Their glorious music combines dissonant lo-fi noise, avant-garde, and psychedelic sounds to warped song structures. Rising out of the same scene that produced Dinosaur Jr, Supreme Dicks were vital contributors to the lo-fi and avant garde genres. The band’s constantly revolving line-up (Lou Barlow was a Dick now and again) centered around Daniel Oxenberg, Jon Shere, Steve Shavel, Mark Hanson, and Jim Spring, whose psychedelic-yet-twangy brand of rock’n'roll came out of the band’s roots at Hampshire College in the Reagan era. The Dicks released a clutch of incredible records - three albums, a single, a split single and a 12" EP - over a four-year period before not-so-much disbanding as dispersing at the end of 1996. This slow, brooding, hugely affecting body of warped psychedelic work was released as a box set by Jagjaguwar in 2011 entitled 'Breathing And Not Breathing'. In 2012, Supreme Dicks came back together to play a limited number of shows in the US, making this ever-so-rare European tour their first major jaunt in almost 17 years. In the live setting, the band upholds a tradition of inviting others to play with them onstage - musicians who have done so include Beck, Dan Kapelovitz and Ariel Pink. Their legendary Amherst jams were known to continue for anywhere up to 15 hours at a time (although, on this tour, we'll be looking at more traditional set lengths). This is going to be the unforgettable!

PLATINUM VISION is Matt Mottel from Talibam!'s new sophisticat-jazz out project. Keyboards, wailing guitar, bass and brass all spinning out a landscape for Matt's (often absurdist) slouchy blues vocal to walk out, leading you serenly through equal parts calm and chaos. All expectors of the unexpected will be primed.

CHALAQUE aka Nick Mitchell of Manchester's Golden Lab records, will be providing some exceptionally wonky guitar noise. At first, you might think you’ve got Nick pegged as a psych guitarist with stock moves, but listen for a few minutes and you’ll suddenly wonder where the hell you are. One guitar, two amps, feedback stacked into walls and high-pitched soloing.
